Yep. Namely that a device driver really is an application in and of
itself (it just happens to be an application whose sole purpose is to
run a particular device), and the whole reason it breaks in Mozilla is
because these drivers aren't following the guidelines of the system.
They're hacking around the real system calls they *should* be using and
doing it their own way. If they used the documented methods for doing
this (and the whole fiasco on the Mac is that such methods don't exist
pre-Carbon; Microsoft has no excuse for their mice on Windows, because
they wrote the specs :) ), there'd be no problem.
